Since the stay-at-home order has transitioned to the safer-at-home phase, Colorado has slowly begun reopening certain non-essential businesses with strict precautions. However, this does not include restaurants and bars as they remain closed to in-person dining the week beginning May 4. Luckily, the majority of local restaurants are still offering takeout and delivery. Celebrate takeout Thursday (sushi edition) by supporting a sushi restaurant in the Colorado Springs-area.

Most restaurants mark the floor to designate where to stand while waiting for a takeout order, allowing customers to follow social distancing requirements.

Here are a few of the numerous local options for takeout Tuesday (and other days and nights, of course):

Nara Sushi & Grill: "Fresh fish, experienced chiefs, and great sushi" is how this sushi restaurant rolls. Enjoy the Garden of the Gods roll or one of the special salads such as the savory seaweed salad. 3117 W. Colorado Ave., 375-3186, offering takeout.

Bento Heaven Sushi: The whole family can find something to enjoy from this downtown restaurant that specializes in a variety of sushi and Bento meals.
